PERSIANNA - Oriental Fox Trot
(White)
Played by The Bar Harbor Society Orchestra

"Persianna," a lively number with exotic overtones and the requisite banjo keeping time, is the reverse side of "Tell Her at Twilight," played by the Yerkes Flotilla Orchestra.
The pictures of Omar and friend are taken from magazine advertisements for Omar Turkish cigarettes from 1915.
Special thanks to Betty for this record from her collection.

Que delicia escuchar a la The Bar Harbor Societe Orchestra cuya orquesta se remonta hacia 1928... aquí en Chile llegaban algunos discos de 78 r.p.m. y los tocaba mi abuelo en su aparato Gramófono marca: " Rca Victor"

In brazilian portuguese (I don't know if in Portugal is the same) "Persiana"(without other "n") means window shutter.
